What we did

(Clarinets and Percussion had instruments today)

• Review proper posture and hand position
• Reading and performing line 1, 2 and 4 in the Standard of Excellence
  • Concert D, C, Bb
• Perform Benchmark line
  • Play line 7 with acceptable tone quality, correct rhythm and in good time.
• Played line 10 (one time)
• Briefly discussed and attempted legato half note rhythms

Looking Forward

• Counting and playing half notes and half rests on page 7: lines 11-14
• Counting and playing quarter notes and rest on page 8: 15-17

Must establish a good legato articulation; no breath between notes; all articulation is whole note based


All students should be able to meet performing targets on line 7 by Nov. 10
